[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are planning a similar trip for Spring Break, splitting our nights between Waikoloa (6 nights) and Volcano (2 nights).  What roads did you drive between the two sides?  Any favorite stops?

Did you think 3 nights in Volcano was the correct amount of time?  Favorite hike?  Curious about the food options there.

Any favorite beaches on the Kona side of the island for early elementary kids?[/quote]

Depends on where you are staying. If down south, Kahalu’u is a great beginner spot and is well protected regardless of where the swell is coming from. The south side of the bay is protected by a jetty and is for snorkeling and the north side is for surfing.

Up north consider parking at the Mauna Lani shore access lot and walking to Makaiwa bay. Also great for younger kids. Get there early as the lot is not large.

If you plan to be there over Easter it is considerate to leave the shore access parking for locals on that day, and do something else instead.[/quote]

This is the OP again.  Speaking of Easter, VNP was bumping on Christmas Day.  We were surprised how many people were there that day - many more than the day before or the day after.[/quote]
